Once i hated this city
Now it can’t get me down
Slushy, humid and gritty
What a pretty
Town
What, thought i, could be duller
More depressing, less gay?
Now my favorite color
Is gray
A wall of rain as it turns to sleet
The lack of sun on a one-way street
I love the grime all the time
And what more do i need?
An inch of sky and a fly or two
Why, i can see half a tree
And what more do i need?
The dusk is thick and it’s galling;
It simply can’t be excused
In winter even the falling snow looks
Used
My window pane may not give much light
But i see you, so the view is bright
If i can love you, i’ll pay the dirt no heed!
With your love, what more do i need?
Someone shouting for quiet
Someone starting a brawl
Down the block there’s a riot
And i’ll buy it
All!
Listen, now i’m ecstatic
Hold me close and be still
Hear the lovely pneumatic
Drill!
A subway train thunders through the bronx
A taxi horn on the corner honks
But i adore every roar
And what more do i need?
I hear a crane making street repairs
A two-ton child running wild upstairs
Steam pipes bang, sirens clang
And what more do i need?
The neighbors yell in the summer
The landlord yells in the fall
So loud i can’t hear the plumber
Pound the wall
An aeroplane roars across the bay
You said you love me
Above the sound and speed
With your love
What more do i need?
